The book imparts basic knowledge for the detailing of steel structures and for the structural design of steelwork according to Eurocode 3 with Parts 1-1 (Building Elements) and 1-8 (Joints). With extensive examples. The book has been completely revised for the 5th edition.
This classic manual on structural steel design provides a major source of reference for structural engineers and fabricators working with the leading construction material. Based fully on the concepts of limit state design, the manual has been revised to take account of the 2000 revisions to BS 5950. It also looks at new developments in structural steel, environmental issues and outlines the main requirements of the Eurocode on structural steel.
A comprehensive introduction to reliability analysis. The first section provides a thorough but elementary prologue to reliability theory. The latter half comprises more advanced analytical tools including Markov processes, renewal theory, life data analysis, accelerated life testing and Bayesian reliability analysis. Features numerous worked examples. Each chapter concludes with a selection of problems plus additional material on applications.
This is a complete update of the author's earlier book, FSM-Based Digital Design using Verilog HDL (Wiley 2008). Whilst the essential foundation content remains, the book has been considerably refreshed to cover the design of Finite State Machines (FSM) in place of Microprocessors, using a novel form of State Machines based on Toggle Flip Flops (TFF) and Data Flip Flops (DFF). It follows a Linear Programmed Learning approach, enabling the reader to learn at their own pace, and to design...
